It would be nice, however, if the CDC guys were in any way, shape, or form believable though. "We're dealing with an unknown virus that's crazy infectious? Okay, let's just wear a face shield when dealing with infected people. Oh you know what, let's just say fuck it to the face shield, too. I mean, if that uber protective gear won't work, why bother at all, amirite or amirite?"

Level X, secret underground cabins, seizures, twins, Ballesteros Bastardry, missing samples and more! It really is a funny show if you take it as unintentional parody. This series has at least had interesting music but I think they blew it with that played out cover of Mad World.

How is it possible that they have an entire scene of Daft Punk killing people to music, and that music is not "Get Lucky"? Or at least "Technologic"? Missed opportunities, man. Missed opportunities.

I thought the elevator scene would've worked better without the pan down to the bodies. Just exit the elevator with the blood on the walls, 'nuff said.

Yeah, that was ridiculous. Not because it was particularly gory (it wasn't), just because it was already clear what happened by the blood on the walls and the fact that no one else was standing in the elevator any more. I just thought that it was treating the audience as incredibly stupid to actually pan down to confirm that everyone was dead.

Just how many secret levels and bunkers does that place have anyway?

I said the same thing when Hatake mentioned a secret bunker, but then it turned out to be the "cabin" we had already seen, so it wasn't quite as bad as introducing yet another "lowest" level.

The "decoy" of the 250 snowmobile drones was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. So, what, is there just a ship or planes full of random snowmobile drones on the edge of the ice pack? That seems pointless. Plus, if the badass team of immortals had just parachuted onto the top of the base (as they did) without the decoy, they never would have set off the perimeter alarm to begin with, giving everyone a chance to evacuate or prepare. So much stupid on this show, yet I keep giving it a chance.

Definitely . It's far from perfect, as for the cover... hey now, it's not that bad . I like it better than the original tbh. And it kind of fits the situation they're in right now.

I love the song. But, while I get what they were trying to do with those songs on the show, it just does not work. At all. If anything, it just comes off as pretentious rather than whimsically macabre.

So, right now most of the episodes are "gathering dust" on my DVR, because the first three sucked, and I'd already given it two more chances. I thought I'd drop in to see whether anything moved me to continue or to just blow it away. I can't say you guys are moving me to continue!
